"Gray challenges many time-honored beliefs about the battle. Perhaps most significantly, he brings in as much as possible the testimony of the Indian witnesses, especially that of the young scout Curley, which generations of historians have dismissed for contradictions that Gray convincingly demonstrates were caused not by Curley but by the assumptions made by his questioners . . . The contrasts in [this] book. . . restate the basic components of what still attracts the imagination to the Little Bighorn."-Los Angeles Times Book Review * Los Angeles Times Book Review * "Gray's analysis, by and large, is impressively drawn; it is an immensely logical reconstruction that should stand the test of time. As a contribution to Custer and Indian wars literature, it is indeed masterful."-Jerome A. Greene, New Mexico Historical Review -- Jerome A. Greene * New Mexico Historical Review * "[Gray] has applied rigorous analysis as no previous historian has done to these oft-analyzed events.

No one will be able to write of this battle again without reckoning with Gray"-Thomas W. Dunlay, Journal of American History -- Thomas W. Dunlay * Journal of American History * "Easily the most significant book yet published on the Battle of the Little Bighorn."-Paul L. Hedren, Western Historical Quarterly -- Paul L.
